yeah neither one of them are good by any means. I've smoke crack a couple times to try it, and I didn't get addicted to it or anything, it's not something I would choose to smoke for enjoyment or buy on my own. just another addictive drug really. and as for these synthetic blends, I've tried them out of curiosity and I can understand smoking them if you are on probation or whatever. But bottom line is that I'm a stoner, and everything I do eventually leads back to wanting to smoke a bowl of weed. also, I don't think crack and other "bad" drugs are bad in and of themselves. It's the people who use them, letting the drug control them rather than them controlling the drug. it's all just up to the individual, the level they want to reach, and what they choose to put in their bodies. I don't see how people could ever reach a consensus about what is "good" and what is "bad" about what people should and shouldn't put in their bodies.
